Parent topics
- Cryptanalysis [r]: The sub-field of cryptology which deals with breaking into existing codes and ciphers. [e]
- Active attack [r]: An attack on a communications system in which the attacker creates, alters, replaces, re-routes or blocks messages; this contrasts with a passive attack in which he only reads them. [e]
Subtopics
- Man-in-the-middle attack [r]: An attack on a communications system in which the attacker deceives the communicating parties so they both talk to him while believing they are talking to each other. [e]
- Rewrite attack [r]: An attack on a communication system in which the attacker replaces a legitimate message with his own. [e]
- Passive attack [r]: An attack on a communications system in which the attacker reads messages he is not supposed to but does not alter them. [e]
